DeWalt DCS570B 7-1/4" 20V MAX Cordless Circular Saw (Tool Only)

I bought this saw with a kit of tools from Lowe's. Although I have had it for a couple of years, I only used it lightly 3 or 4 times at most, and now it won't work. I took it to a De Walt authorized dealer and they told me the stator is gone. Said it would be about $140 for parts + labor, OR, they could send it to De Walt and it would cost about $150.00 total. I only bought De Walt because of their name. Guess I was wrong.

This tool has become indispensable. Ive had the 20v line since 2013 but held out on buying this due to having the corded counterpart. This is just as powerful as my corded Milwaukee and just as lightweight. Its compact easy to cut accurately with. The brake is awesome to have. It rips and cross cuts very well. I didnt use the blade that came with it. I put a 40 tooth Diablo on it which is my go-to blade.

The thumb lever for the guard is a weird design. So I took off the black lever, and slightly bent it the other way to be more ergonomic, and put it back on. That was my only complaint with this saw.

Very convenient not to deal with a cord. DEWALT Quality and reliability.

This is my second one I have purchased and the same thing happened. Made it through about 5 2by4s and it's dead. The batteries are still fully charged. It won't spin. Same as my last one. It starts out great but at this point it's wasting so much of my time it's not worth it. I do not recommend

I upgraded from the Dewalt max 6 1/2 circular saw to this bad boy a couple of months ago. I have never been happier. I used this recently to cut 3/4 in osb, it went through each panel like butter. It is honestly an awesome saw. You can really tell Dewalt listens to there customers!

Finally made the jump to a cordless 7-¼” circular saw. We use this daily and I have no complaints! Plenty of torque and cuts like a breeze. We use 4 and 5Ah batteries and easily cut for a full day or 2 cutting 2x6, 2x4 and long osb cuts on roofs. Comfortable and super stable. I wouldn’t trade it for anything else. My only thought would be for the depth adjustment bolt to have a pivoting handle so that you can swing out of the way of the body. I find that these bolts stretch over time and eventually either don’t tighten or loosen as well. Perhaps it will never be an issue anyway! Great tool, and couldn’t be happier.

Overall the saw has good power and battery life. It has cut everything I have asked if it was a professional carpenter, but What I don't understand is why they chose to put a safety switch on it that forces you to move you entire grip to activate the saw. The safety they put on the 6 1/2 inch saw is easy to quickly access and start cutting. I HATE THE SAFETY ON THIS ONE! I love most of the DeWalt tools I use, I have 30 of them keeping the same battery for a cordless saw was a priority, but if I was just starting my set of cordless tools, based on this one. I would have gone Milwaukee for the safety switch they went with!

Dewalt is by far the best brand whether it’s my new saw or my old 18v drill. I would recommend them

seems like a good saw. good price. wish it came with a rip fence

I had high expectations. The saw was light and the adjustments were an improvement over my older DeWALT corded model. It is a bit of a power hog but that was to be expected. I was cutting 1x12 siding and it died after 20 cuts. The 5amp battery was fully charged but it will not start. When I manually turn the blade, it has a gravely sound as if a bearing is bad. It is worthless as all the service centers are over an hour from me and inconvenient. It would cost me a third of the product price for the trip. I have been very pleased with my 6 other DeWALT products, but this is a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.
